IPad won't turn on without power cable and when it does, it shuts down within a few minutes

This last weekend I went to visit my sister and when I came back, my iPad was turned off. I turned it on again and all seemed fine but then within a few minutes, it went straight back off. It won't start up without the power cable attached, and when it does, it says "No WiFi" in settings, not "Not connected", but it's greyed out and says "No WiFi". I did a restore which went OK, but when I was restoring it shut off too and the restore didn't carry through. I'm really worried! I can't visit an Apple Store for a week, so I just wanted to see if I could get a rough idea of what the problem is now?

Your iPad is in Recovery Mode.

TS1702 All apps on my iPad shut down after a few minutes of use. Any suggestions ?

All apps on mi iPad shut down after a few minutes of use ? I've updated all the apps and restarted my device, no difference. Any suggestions ?

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

IPad won't turn on, cvcles update bar and apple logo

Hi guys
My iPad won't turn on after I tried to charge it last night. What happens is I'll try and turn it on and it will go on to the Apple Logo, then the little bar will appear as if it is updating. The bar will get to about 2% of the way across, then the bar will disappear. Sometimes it will get to the lock screen for a brief moment before going straight back to the Apple Logo. This will just repeat persistently. I have tried holding the home button and lock button together, and all this does is get rid of the update bar, but the logo screen cycles. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Ipad will not turn on without charging cable

IPAD First Generation power on and power off issues:
Will turn on unless plugged into charging cable.
Will not turn off without pressing Sleep/Wake button and Home button

The battery is probably dead.

Firefox is starting up on its own. I don't want it to because sometimes I don't need it, and when I go to shut down, computer won't let me because Firefox is running and I didn't know it. What to do?

I used to be in control of whether or not Firefox would load for any particular session on my computer. Now, probably after some update I got in the recent past, Firefox has a mind of its own. It opens every time I turn on my computer. There are times I don't want to use any browser, including Firefox. For example, sometimes I just want to look at my mail. Don't have time for anything else, but my computer won't let me shut it down. Why? Firefox sneaked in. So I have to find it and close it before I can shut down the computer.
HELP!!! How can I stop Firefox from automatically loading?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Did you try a Force Quit?
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
Wait. Force Quit window will appear.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201412 iPad won't turn without resetting and has no sound?

IPad won't turn on without resetting, once reset it works properly but without sound. Once I turn it off it will not turn back on unless I reset it again. Any ideas? I've already used iTunes to restore it, but that didn't help.

Try this reset ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the iPad > Tunes: Restoring iOS software

TS3274 My iPad won't turn on and pressing the top button won't help

My iPad won't turn off, it was charged and suddenly turned off and won't turn on on again, I tried holding down the top button but nothing happened. What will I do?

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting and it may com back that way.

My ipad won't turn on even i press home and sleep button together

My Ipad Won't Turn On Even Press Home And Sleep Button Together..Its Happen When Charging Yesterday Night..Its That My Ipad Need To Repair The Sleep Button?Because Cannot Connect To Itunes..Help...

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
